Broken Strings Chapter 10: That Mare From Filly

((Pre-read: Eeeeeyup!))

Alright, everypony. This is where the fecal matter becomes non-fictional. So, there we were. It was me, Ivory, Treble, and Octavia. I had just made up with Ivory, and I thought everything was going to be fine, however, fate's hoof just likes to meddle in everything. Of course, as a result, what happens next made everything just that much more complicated. Okay. Now, where did I leave off? Oh yeah. Moment bittersweet, roger that.

As this all too familiar voice hit my ears, I couldn't help but sigh. How could I have expected the moment to be perfect? I looked over Ivory's shoulder, as we broke the embrace. Of course, just as I thought, I was looking directly at a pair of purple shades, and a sly smirk. Ivory turned, and shot the unicorn a glare.

"What do you want?" I don't think I had ever heard Ivory's voice sound that angry.

"What's the matter, foal? Can't a REAL DJ play a low end gig every once in a while?"

I knew what Vinyl was doing… and I didn't like it one bit.

Ivory snarled at Vinyl, and stamped her hoof. "So, all you can do is stand there and call me names? That's rather mature, Vinyl."

Then, a light brown unicorn stallion with a spiked, white mane walked into the hallway, on Vinyl's side. "There a problem, Babe?"

Ivory must've snapped. The sweet voice I knew was now angry. It was honestly the first time I had heard that in her voice. "Yeah, Flats. There is a problem! And if Vinyl doesn't step off, she's going to walk away wall-eyed!"

Vinyl must've been steaming as well. I could see it on her face. "And just who do you think you are, bitch?!"

"I'm the bitch who's going to do to your body what you did to my stallion's heart, you arrogant cunt!" Now, that's a new word… at least coming from Ivory.

Vinyl was about to charge at Ivory, but, luckily for one of the two mares, Flats stepped in front of her, his arrogant smirk visible. "How about you let the men handle this?" His intervention was short-lived, as Vinyl pushed him aside, and charged at Ivory.

I watched, in a slight shock, as Ivory turned away from Vinyl, and kicked both hind legs up, striking Vinyl in the face with a force that would make Applejack proud. Vinyl went flying back, her shades shattered by the kick. She toppled into Sharp Flats, as she landed. She hopped up, and made a second approach at Ivory, who was now facing her. As Vinyl and Ivory collided, the erupted into a mass flurry of hooves. I watched in a delayed horror, as I watched Ivory biting on Vinyl's chest, while taking repeated strikes to the side. I looked back at Treble, and Octavia. We all knew that we had to intervene. At the same time, the three of us descended upon the tussling mares, myself, and Treble grabbing Ivory, while Octavia grabbed Vinyl.

Having separated the mares, I couldn't help but notice that Sharp Flats was laughing hysterically at the fact that either one of the mares could've been seriously hurt. I debated showing the fucker the true definition of pain, but decided against it, deciding to tend to Ivory instead.

I looked down at the mare, who was now spitting a tuft of white fur out of her mouth. "Are you alright, Ivy?" I looked back up to see Vinyl, and Sharp Flats cantering away.

"Yeah, Bass. I'm fine. That mare just has quite a way of pissing me off."

((Post-read:)) Alright, look. I know that this was a relatively short chapter, but I couldn't leave you guys on a cliffhanger for a whole month (like another author…). So, I hope you enjoyed chapter 10.
